This afternoon, I decided to catch up and do a “what ever happened to” search about some of the confused characters that were featured–no, more like inescapable–a few years back.
Jazz Jennings: a highly confused little boy, whose mother, in her infinite wisdom, decided not to discourage her child in this sexual identity thing, but instead chose to go full-bore down the road of fostering and encouraging the delusion. This started when he was a toddler. That meant puberty blockers and “sex reassignment surgery”. I could describe that, but I won’t. It would do credit to the Spanish Inquisition. Jazz claims to be now very happy, because “she” just lost over a hundred pounds (due to a binge eating problem). Also, Jazz says there is no boyfriend because right now the main focus will be on “herself”.
Chaz Bono: This individual is Cher’s daughter (Chastity), who waited until the age of 40 before starting the mutilation process. She has done the whole spectrum (another group of surgeries which I will not describe.) Breast amputation is only the start–and believe me it gets a lot worse.
Suddenly, I realized over an hour had gone by.
I didn’t want to do any more.
If it wasn’t the dead of winter and I couldn’t move my car, I would have liked a nice long swim in some very, very clean water.
Anyone who says our popular culture is not toxic is just plain crazy.
I have to wonder if these people will feel this way in the long term.
They are pretty messed up now.
